Devonta Freeman Questionable To Return Monday Night

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman (ankle) is questionable to return to the Monday night game against the Eagles with an ankle injury. Freeman rushed the ball just three times for eight yards in the contest before leaving the game with his injury. He was targeted once in the passing game but came up […]

Raiders Put Four Offensive Lineman On COVID-19 List

The Las Vegas Raiders placed four starting offensive lineman on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Center Rodney Hudson, guards Gabe Jackson and Denzelle Good and tackle Kolton Miller were deemed high-risk contacts, according to sources. Tackle Trent Brown is already on the COVID-19 list, so the Raiders could be without all five starting offensive linemen […]

Darrell Henderson Jr., Tyler Higbee Sit Out Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (thigh) and tight end Tyler Higbee (hand) were both absent from Thursday's practice, throwing their status for Monday's game against Chicago into flux.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Looking To Build Off Strong Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire will look to build off of his best performance as a professional in Week 6 with a matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 7.

Joshua Kelley Is A Risky Option In Week 7

Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley will look to pick up some yards in Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. With Austin Ekeler (hamstring) sidelined, Kelley was expected to draw the start and be the beneficiary, but it was Justin Jackson who started and took advantage of the opportunity given to him in Week […]

Justin Jackson Returns To Practice

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson (knee) practiced on Thursday. Jackson was a limited participation on Wednesday with a knee injury, but managers shouldn't worry as Jackson appears ready for a Week 7 matchup a Jacksonville Jaguars Defense that is allowing 114 yards and a touchdown per contest this season to opposing runners. Jackson […]

Don't Expect A Repeat Performance From Phillip Lindsay

In Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay's return from a turf-toe injury in Week 6 against the Patriots, he put up a dominant performance with 23 carries for 101 yards in the upset win. Lindsay operated as the workhorse back with Melvin Gordon III out with strep throat, but Gordon is on track to return […]

Melvin Gordon III Set To Return In Week 7

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (illness) missed last week's game with a non-COVID-19-related illness, but he's not on the injury report heading into Week 7 against the division-rival Chiefs. Gordon still faces the possibility of a suspension from the league after his DUI last week, but fantasy managers should expect Gordon to play […]

Seahawks-Cardinals Moved To Sunday Night In Week 7

The game between the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals in Week 7 has been moved to Sunday night at 8:20 p.m. ET, with the previously scheduled Sunday night game between the Buccaneers and Raiders being moved to 4:05 p.m. ET.

Fantasy Football Trade Targets - Week 7

The fantasy trade market is always a fun one to evaluate. Articles like this are essentially glorified "Who's Hot and Who's Not" pieces but the tables are turned to where sometimes, you want to trade for those that are cold and trade away those hot. Now, six weeks into the season, we have several big-name players underperforming […]

Frank Gore Is Tough To Trust

New York Jets running back Frank Gore has taken over the lead-back duties with the departure of Le'Veon Bell. The veteran back has done what he can, but the Jets offensive line doesn't give him much help. He saw 11 carries for 46 yards against the Miami Dolphins last week. Gore is expected to have […]

Derrick Henry Faces Tough Steelers Team In Week 7

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry is coming off three consecutive games with multiple touchdowns and just amassed 264 scrimmage yards in last week's win, so even a tough matchup against a Steelers Defense shouldn't deter fantasy owners from running Henry out as an RB1. Pittsburgh's defense is allowing just 66 rushing yards per game, […]

James Conner An RB1 In Week 7

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner is off to an excellent start this season. The veteran running back has now found the end zone in four straight games while also reaching at least 100 rushing yards three times. Conner will take on the Tennessee Titans on the road in Week 7 in a decent matchup […]

Kareem Hunt An Excellent Option In Week 7

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt has an excellent matchup as he will take on the Cincinnati Bengals on the road in Week 7. Hunt will continue to operate as Cleveland's clear lead back while Nick Chubb continues to rehab an injured knee. The Bengals have struggled against the run in 2020, ranking 23rd in […]

Chris Carson Is A Safe Start For Week 7

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson was dealing with a knee injury heading into the bye week, but now that he's rested, he's ready to go for Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals. He's the RB8 on the year despite playing in just five games, and he's firmly entrenched as his team's starter. He has […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Is A Flex Option In Week 7

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson will be looking to bounce back in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears after a decent performance in Week 6, but it won't be that easy. The Bears are tied for 10th in fewest fantasy points allowed to the running back position, and Henderson remains in a crowded […]

Mike Davis A Low-End RB1 In Week 7

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis is a low-end RB1 this week against the Saints. Davis is coming off a modest week in which he had 52 rushing yards and three receiving yards. Nevertheless, the volume is there in both the rushing and passing game, as he has seen at least 13 carries and anywhere […]

Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 7

The warning signals get brighter by the week since we have more data to work from. The larger the sample size the easier it is for us to connect the dots from the latest trends. Football is a game of small samples and many variables, making it one of the hardest sports to predict. How […]

How to Value Clyde Edwards-Helaire with Le'Veon Bell in KC

Clyde Edwards-Helaire or Jonathan Taylor? Coming into the season this was the biggest question for fantasy GMs, both dynasty managers who were thinking long-term and redraft managers who wanted to know who would be better for this season. There were many different theories and believe me when I say, both sides thought they were 100% […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 7

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Tape Tells All: D'Andre Swift's Week 6 Performance

Welcome to another edition of Tape Tells All. I've been thinking of rebranding as just TAPE. All-Caps like that. Probably wouldn't be a good idea for SEO purposes, right? Anyways, this week we'll be discussing Detroit Lions rookie running back D'Andre Swift. Swift set a lot of career highs this week, with bests in carries […]

Devonta Freeman Leading New York Backfield

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman has seen his workload increase in each week with the team since signing after Week 2. Freeman has been the clear lead-back for Big Blue, but faces a quick turnaround this week with a Thursday night game against the Eagles. Freeman handled 17 and 18 touches in the […]

Ezekiel Elliott's Fumbling Issues Have Persisted

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has lost four fumbles this season after losing just five in the first four years of his career, and his giveaways this year have turned into 28 points for the opposition. Elliott has more fumbles lost in 133 carries than all nine of the league's top-10 rushers combined in […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Week 6 was like the 2020 of fantasy football weeks. All those great matchups meant nothing, those studs let you down, and your bench likely went crazy. The good news is that we didn't have any season-ending injuries to running backs or games canceled due to COVID, so in retrospect maybe we shouldn't complain. The […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 7 Lightning Round

Week 6 was relatively healthy and had no coronavirus delays, so let's just take a moment to bask in that. That said, we still saw Miles Sanders (knee) and Zach Ertz (ankle) go down, while Mark Ingram (ankle) has a bye to get healthy. Week 7 byes are Baltimore, Indianapolis, Miami, and Minnesota. Let's get […]
